Wheat free milk ladder

Does anybody have a tried and tested wheat free milk ladder? A biscuit as the first thing is going to be a no go for now 🤦🏼‍♀️ Ive asked our health visitor but not had a response, and we dont have a dietician.

advice about mix feeds

How you doing it

Protein powder

Any recommendations on protein powder that doesn’t taste gross but has clean ingredients?

7w5d and CAN’T EAT

This is mostly just a vent. I’m 10 pounds down, and the only thing I have an appetite for is fried seafood. The problem? I’m landlocked in Colorado and vegan. Fml

Does protein shakes upset anyone's stomach?

I've tried some protein coffee and protein shake and usually my stomach is a bit upset after. Do I just need to get used to it or should I try powder?

Does anyone have any tips for a low carb diet?

I usually have toast in the morning and now I don’t know what else to make myself for breakfast that isn’t carbs…aside from an omelette/eggs in general.

Althéra experiences

Is anyone on Althéra, if so what’s your experience on it? My little one completely refused Aptamil Pepti 1 so the dietitian put him back onto Kendmail & his symptoms are still persisting. So we are now trying Althéra. Quite nervous his feeds are going to drastically drop again as we ended up in hospital last time.

Suppressing

Give me your best method for suppressing hunger and snacking. Can be the most unhinged ways, Im just curious on what others do to help stay in their calorie deficit 🙂

Carb and protein recommendations?

What could I add to up my carbs and protein throughout the day. Keeping it pretty high for my breastmilk while doing a calorie deficit.

Does anyone use breadtfeeding for main calories post 1

We are under drs
Just want to see if anyone can relate

Kendamil / Hipp Organic - thoughts!

Interested to know people’s thoughts on Kendamil or Hipp Organic

Currently combi feeding my 10 week with breast and formula. Kendamil possibly too rich for his little tummy.

Experiences would be appreciated!

How are we doing on our diets ladies 😂

Iv been in a calorie deficit for some months and kinda overdid it! Currently slightly hungover eating a steak egg and cheese bagel from McDonald’s in bed😂

Meal idea

What’s everyone having for lunch and snacks in the day? I’m trying my best to be healthy but nothing that’s healthy fills me up. I work out and about so I need things like sandwiches etc but I end always buying crisps and things to stay full, really struggling with what to eat 😞

Your eating habbit

Choose which is mostly like you

Keto and BF

Excuse me if this is ignorance speaking but has anyone done keto and breast fed? I was keto before kids and it helped me feel good all this food has junk in it and I feel gross! I would ask the ped but I ask soooo many questions during our visits.

Is it worth it?

Has anyone else read ‘it starts with the egg’ or followed the Mediterranean diet?

If it was your last ever chance to pig out before being healthy. What would you pig out on?

Please comment so I get ideas lmao

Food

What’s everyone’s food looking like? I am struggling with anything healthy all I want is Ryvita and cheese, bread sticks and hummus or loaded mash potato 😂 I also get so hungry so quickly that I feel sick then can only eat about 2 mouth fulls 😂 I feel terrible that I’m getting very little nutrition right now obviously I’m taking my prenatal vitamins but meats are pretty much off the table the thought makes me want to vomit 😂

A choice?

Do you think obesity is a choice?

I’m not talking about being 30-50 pounds ‘overweight’, I’m talking about those who are like 400+ pounds. I understand health can play a big part, as well as mental health and in no way am I shaming anyone with this post. I see a lot of comments online that it’s a ‘choice’ so I’m curious what others think.

Diet for gender swaying

I’m curious, from extensive research it seems that the only viable element we can control that may marginally sway gender is diet. And I mean, marginally. I am absolutely not convinced that anything has any huge impact, but this does seem to be the only thing that has studies that have since not been myth busted. I’m curious though, would anyone say that that have a high calorie, particularly salty diet, and conceived a girl?

After two boys who I completely adore, I would love to increase my chances of having a girl.
